@pmcg @schwa I was once got two bottle of Grey Goose vodka with a gift note that read “from me to me. Love you. HONK”

Drunk me is great craic.

The final gifts have been received and so the embargo on buying myself stuff can be lifted. Also lying on the sofa with a brute of a chest infection so some retail therapy could be just what the “doctor” ordered me to self-medicate with.

@chrisphin @simon with the right, or maybe the wrong, kerning it definitely works.

@simon @chrisphin shit. This is what Content Warnings were made for, right?

@chrisphin now, I’m not sure if you mean musical keyboards or are referring to the Apple keyboards on a shelf. And I have more of both of them elsewhere in the house 🙂

I will inevitably buy another of both, as well.

@chrisphin @simon here’s how mine fits. It’s a 15”. There’s a 17” on the shelves at the top but it doesn’t work properly. Yet!

@schwa and in Northern Ireland it’s like the NF but with sectarianism.

@chrisphin @simon in case you have one or get one, I discovered that the smaller iMac G4 will sort of fit into a Kallax with the screen sitting slightly in front of the frame.

@shezza_t @intheseheels yeah. For me they were the place I almost drowned once, and witnessed men throwing women into the water, so I was scared of them for a long time. That said, I got up to plenty of mischief around those lakes!

@intheseheels I love Craigavon. Then again, I grew up there so I’m biased. It’s a strange place; can seem like it has no soul, but it’s merely hidden.

@schwa how long until we see those faces pulled on videos titled “Genocide in Gaza?!”

@nivrig I just see a Cybertruck backed through a wall

@acf yeah, I struggle with the concept of “profit” a lot of the time. For me, a company should be trying to make enough money to pay its workers a good wage, to pay the owners a good wage, and to generate enough extra money to reinvest in growing the company. More is greed.

Don’t start me on Apple. It’s one of my huge personal conflicts!

@acf I looked up the company on Companies House and saw that it was created in May 2020. Imagine thinking “I’m going to create a new company just to rake in the cash while people are dying and the health care workers caring for them are being underpaid and worked to the bone”. I can sort of understand an existing company focusing on PPE, but starting a new one?

I don't care if you find a tunnel that goes from a Gazan hospital all the way to Tel Aviv. There is never justification for murdering civilians and destroying the lives of those people you don't manage to murder.

@bigzaphod Cool, thanks. I can see the same kit on UK Amazon, so I could buy it and get an extra breadboard and some prototyping components.

Though maybe what I should be buying is a bench power supply, as I need 12Vpp for some of what I'm doing!
